Alright!! Halloween special!

I want you to create a spooky story in honor of upcoming Halloween. It can be in the form of a story, letter, or anything you decide.

RULES-

1. Please give any warnings for violence.

2. Please, no swearing. If you do accidentally let one slip, it won’t deduct from your overall points; I will just kindly ask you to remove it.

3. No word limit, just don’t go writing a novel.  Yeash.

4. Don’t do anything inappropriate, please.

5. Up to two entries per person.

I will then read through all entries and give away up to 5 point for grammar and 5 points for overall writing structure. Then I will read the entries out loud to my little brother and sister and they will each give away 7, 5, and 3 points to their top three favorite entries.

So there you go, guys.

Have fun!!
